Lights on white targets

One of my new rules would be - if the lights are on white targets are thrown.

 

Orange targets are easy to see under the lights.

 

Easier than white against a black background?

 

I don't know were you guy shoot, but where I shoot white targets are easier to see at night.

 

Can't imagine shooting anything but White at nite. They used to, or still do it at the Grand.

At New Port we shoot orange targets with the lights on up to late dusk. If you try and shoot white targets before that, they blend in with the sky. I will say, that there are time at New Port that we would start out with orange and wished that we would have switched before the round had ended. I know that some clubs shoot a flo. green target, but do to cost I don't see that happening at New Port. The wind issue is a bigger problem right now than the color issue. Lol

I can't seem to find the switch for are wind machine at Newport ............... mother nature just will not give me a break.
I am at the club in the morning setting up and trying to make sure we have good targets but good old mother nature turns on the wind about the time we start shooting.
Last night the targets wasn't to bad .......... Big Popa broke a 50

We are going to adjust are lights at the club...... its on my to do list.

 

Big Papa says he can control the wind, maybe that how he was able to break a 50. I agree with the light situation. I was thinking of having some work done to my butt since that where the lights were shining at night. I know you guys say I'm a "perfect a$$" and are standing back there talking about us while we're shooting. Lol

 

I am not sure what your talking about Brian ....... Most of the time Dick and I are talking about how we can make things better for all of are shooter's.

 

I was just kidding you about Dick. You guys do a great job making sure things go as well. There are certain things that can't be controlled, like the wind.

Ok .... See you next week.

 

There easy to see. No problem here with orange at night. White are great too except in the fall trap league when the snow is coming down.

 

Brian, we are still looking for the person responsible for the wind and the direction at the club. Rick and I have been hoping you would take over that responsibility!!!! LOL. Many years ago, in Florida the wind was blowing over 30 MPH. Big Leo broke the only 200 that day. Later that day I ask him how in the world did you break those targets in all of that wind? He looked at me and said "did the wind blow today, I never noticed"!!! That's difference between a shooter and a REAL shooter. It's completely a mental game. Has nothing to do with the wind. As an OSTA Director, I have worked many of the shootoff's at the grand. They throw the same New York Style orange targets for all shootoff's at night under the lights as they throw during the day.

 

BIG PAPA, reminds me of last year at the CC when I was talking to Dan B about a time when he broke a 100x100 over some 30+ years go. May have been Reno? Any rate the wind blew so hard it actually sand blasted the paint on a new Cadillac. They had to pull down the bill on their caps to keep the sand out of their eyes until their turn to shoot. Dan had the only 100 that day, the other guys who some were All Americans could only get into the 70's. Oh ya, another thing, this was doubles.
